I’m sure the New York Times and Rachel Maddow will be churning out sympathetic pieces on the hate and rage being directed at her for simply trying to protect the health, safety, and welfare of Arizona’s law-abiding citizens…

Lovely: An open-borders activist smacks a man with a camera covering the Arizona state capitol protest last week:

The open-borders circus continues on May 1 with a reprise of the 2006-2007 illegal alien rallies. Check out the photo of the Immigrant Solidarity announcement of the May 1 event right now (I’ve screen-capped it for posterity). Che-mania!

Their rallying cry:

We are calling A national day of multi-ethnic unity with youth, labor, peace and justice communities in solidarity with immigrant workers and building new immigrant rights & civil rights movement!

1. No to anti-immigrant legislation, and the criminalization of the immigrant communities.
2. No to militarization of the border.
3. No to the immigrant detention and deportation.
4. No to the guest worker program.
5. No to employer sanction and “no match” letters.
6. Yes to a path to legalization without condition for undocumented immigrants NOW.
7. Yes to speedy family reunification.
8. Yes to civil rights and humane immigration law.
9. Yes to labor rights and living wages for all workers.
10. Yes to the education and LGBTQ immigrant legislation.

We encourages everyone to actively linking our issues with different struggles: wars in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine & Korea with sweatshops exploitation in Asia as well as in Los Angeles, New York; international arm sales and WTO, FTAA, NAFTA & CAFTA with AIDS, hunger, child labors and child solider; as well as multinational corporations and economic exploitation with racism and poverty at home—in order we can win the struggle together at this May Day 2010!

Much, much more to come.
